Personal memory:
Growing up we had
this priest, Father Charles something, who was a big Notre Dame supporter,
especially when it came to football. On days that the Fighting Irish he would
literally slip in little “and pray for the Fighting Irish today” or “help the
Fighting Irish crush (opponent of the day) today” prayers. More than once he
would whip thru the sermon just to add an extra prayer or thought about Notre
Dame. If they played on a Saturday and won, then Sunday was a rejoicing day and
we said prayers of thanks!
On
This Day is a prompt I started this month to further explore historical events.
I will make every effort to keep events localized to that of my research or
research I am conducting for others. However, from time to time, it will simply
be a subject that captured my attention. Some posts will be brief while others
may be more detailed.
